My New Book

Poetic Musings Dedication

In a small, bright, sparkling brook bubbling over granite stones, flowing to a bend in the stream, foaming over rocks and cascading down in a graceful waterfall, churning into deep fathoms of fast running rivers of mysterious waters, luring me further down to them to watch the dark beauty and listen to the rushing sounds of songs yet to be heard in the layered deepness of the recesses of where the mind meets the soul, is where my journey begins. A never ending, ceaseless searching for knowledge of the unknown of what treasures may be in store and written in the saga of Sweetness and Darkness. To this end I promise my all to strive to reach for and accomplish to understand where the meeting crosses over and ultimately combines together in which the two forms a SweetDarkness Everlasting, until the end of time and forever beyond. Thank you Barry for the inspiration.

These simple ingredients will turn out frosting shots that have just one gram of sugar per serving, but still have that creamy texture and sweet flavor you love.

The best part is that these frosting shots aren’t just “not bad for you”, but that they actually pack a powerful nutritional punch!

First, they’re rich in medium chain triglycerides (MCTS) – thanks to the coconut milk. These healthy fats are burned by the liver for energy – not stored as fat. Studies show that eating a diet rich in MCTs can boost metabolism, improve blood sugar balance, benefit heart disease and even protect against fatty liver.

Next, these sweet indulgent shots are packed with antioxidant-rich organic cocoa. Antioxidants protect against the cellular damage that leads to physical aging and can turn healthy cells cancerous. And because we use ONLY organic cocoa that has not been “alkalized” (a chemical process that reduces cocoa’s antioxidant value by half!) you can rest assured that you’re getting the most antioxidant bang per delicious, chocolaty frosting shot!

Oh, and did I mention – they are ridiculously simple to make! The next time you’re having a party, you can whip these up in 10 minutes. How’s that for an easy, elegant and healthy treat your guests will love!

First, add the coconut milk, vanilla, and ganache packets to a saucepan over medium low heat. Stir until the ganache is dissolved. Let cool slightly.

Next transfer the cooled mixture to a mixer bowl, and add the butter. Beat on high speed for about 2 minutes, until it’s fluffy.

If you can’t wait to taste it, grab a spoon and have at it. Otherwise, pipe into shot glasses, and serve with dessert spoons.

Oh, and get creative! Try adding a teaspoon of mint extract for Mint Chocolate Frosting Shots…a teaspoon of coconut extract for German Chocolate Frosting Shots… or an ounce of bourbon for slightly boozy “Happy Hour” Frosting Shots.
